Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Anyone that knows me knows I do not run. I wear heels not trainers, skirts not leggings. Therefore, this is a big challenge for me and shows how strongly I feel about this charity.

I also suffer from this condition so being around sweaty people and people touching their shoes, socks, feet is not going to be easy.

I have suffered from OCD for many years and I am also doing this run to raise awareness and to show you can still live a relatively 'normal' life. It is not something to be ashamed of. Unfortunately I have worked with people who do not understand and are unwilling to. However, I have also worked for some very supportive organisations and colleagues, who just excepted me for who I am.

I have managed to do the first week of the NHS Coach to 5k, so fingers crossed for the second.

OCD is a debilitating illness but is often seen as a joke. This charity supports the sufferers and their loved ones.
